Wednesday night, after a long and serious illness. He leaves a widow, four children, mother, father, three sisters and two brothers. Funeral services, at Stillwater, Saturday morning, Rev. Wm. Tyler of Cadiz, officiating. A host of friends accompanied the widow and remained from here. Many other out-of-town friends attended the funeral.—Mrs. Maggie Christian and Mrs. Grace Brandon of Stillwater were called by her Mr. Chas. Christian's death.

Miss Edua Walker "hiked" to the young's with TO THE CITIZENS OF WARD 11 Cleveland, O., Oct. 1, 1921. Greeting:—After several weeks effort we have finally been successful in DRAFTING a candidate for the City Council in this ward—the Hpn. Harry C. Smith, three times a member of the Ohio Legislature from this (Cuyahoga) county. Mr. Smith is the father of Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law and of Ohio's Civil Rights Law. He helped to enact all the legislation secured in 1894, 1896 and 1900 that has proved so beneficial to the city; its police, fire, park, school, library and all other departments. While born in the South, he is a product of the schools of Cleveland, a resident of Ward 11, and the city for more than half a century. He is a tax-payer and has been a successful business man and editor here for thirty-nine years. His splendid record as an editor, business man, upright, loyal and aggressive, citizen is generally well known and recognized. For five years the living conditions have grown steadily worse in Ward 11, and the city, as everyone knows, as a result of the "open town" rule of the city inaugurated by Mayor Harry L. Davis and Chairman Maurice Maschke and continued by the latter and Mayor Wm. FitzGerald. It was this power (these gentlemen) from whom "Starlight" Boyd and Councilman Thos. Fleming derived their power as political leaders of Ward 11. To their loose political control and domination can be attributed the tremendous increase in the miserable conditions in the ward in the last four or five years. Murder, cutting, shooting, banditry and other crimes and misdemeanors and vile conditions, too numerous to mention, but with which residents of the ward are so familiar, to their sorrow and regret, have forced us to make a SUPREME effort to throw off the miserable yoke (political leadership) of "Starlight" Boyd and Councilman Fleming, which Mayors Davis and FitzGerald and Chairman Maschke have saddled on us for quite five years. Only the defeat of the two candidates, FitzGerald and Fleming, can afford us the relief desired, because the former controls the polite and they must be used to accomplish the end desired. With Mr. Smith's help as Councilman—and he has pledged his best efforts to this end—we propose to materially improve the moral status and better the living conditions in Ward 11 and make it again a safe and decent place in which to live. Cleveland has among the best police in the country, and they will again prove it if given "ri rein" to act and are not "hobble a goodly number of her pupils, last week—The B. Y. P.

In view of the foregoing, and much more, we respectfully ask ALL voters of Ward 11 to join with us and help vote out the "Starlight" Boyd-Councilman Thos. W. Fleming political control and domination of Ward 11, and Mayor FitzGerald's control of the city. (Signed) THE CENTRAL BODY of Ward 11 Citizens' Organization, Eugene R. Brown, Pres: Headquarters: 2366 E. 55th St. Cleveland, Ohio. The "Star"-"Tom" combination are tearing down Smith pictures in ward 11 and in other ways trying to intimidate Smith workers and supporters. This is just the thing that will beat them on election day. All the people of ward 11 are tired of it. Additional Locals A former official of the Western Union Telegraph Co., retired and wealthy, who has contributed nearly $2,000 to the local Salvation Army in the last fifteen years, accompanied E. W. Mitchell, 6801 Euclid Ave.; to the Army Citidel hotel, E. 9th St. and Eagle Avenue, Tuesday. When Mr. Mitchell asked for a room, he was told in the hearing of the philanthropic gentleman who accompanied him that they did not "take Colored men here," but that he could "go down on Central Ave. and find rooms at this address"—4208. Eight years ago, Mr. Mitchell stopped in the S. A. Citidel hotel for two years He intends entering suit. That is the right spirit. The gentleman with him notified the Salvation Army people that he would no longer contribute to their work. Good! Instructions on marking the eight ballots to be voted on. Nov. 8, were given, Tuesday, at the Women's Council meet at East Technical High school. Many intelligent questions followed. Points stressed: Know who and what you wish to vote for; see that your ballot is placed in ballot box by attendant; to mark X only in the first choice column and not to make a second or third choice add strength to the candidate; REGISTER, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21 and 22. last days for registration. Mrs. Harris announced that the next meeting would take up only Council business and politics would not enter into the meeting. Miss Lavina Jackson, E. 93d St, entertained the Blue Bird Whist club at its last meeting. Mr. Louia V. Jones substituted for Dr. Rogers. Moses H. Dixon, Republican candidate for Councilman of the 18th ward, is a conscientious and progressive young man, who promises to serve the public well. He is a Central Ave. business-man and a student of the Cleveland Law school. ANOTHER ASSET FOR CLEVELAND: Mr. Robert H. Kutherford, President and Treasurer of The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., accompanies by Mr. George R. Chiron, assistant to the general manager of said company, will be in Cleveland, Monday and Tuesday, October 31st and November 1st. The former course for the express purpose of coordining an insurance training school where all the Ohio representatives will be drilled scientifically in the company's rich assortment of policies. The latter will remain in the city as manager of the Cleveland district with allies on the second floor of the Bowman Building, 7725 Central Ave. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is one of the largest Old Line Legal Reserve insurance companies owned and operated by Norroes; it has a paid-up capital of $100,000; over a half million dollars in assets and operates in nine (9) states with an employed force of almost a thousand Negro men and women. The company writes both industrial and ordinary business. Its very capable state agency force offers to the public of Ohio the most modern Industrial and Ordinary contracts with the latest non-forfeiture and loan value features at very reasonable premium rates.—Adv. ENDORSES HON. HARRY C. SMITH FOR COUNCILMAN IN WARD 11. S. E. Woods, well known real estate and insurance broker, residing at 3704 Central Ave., has withdrawn from the 11th ward councilman race in favor of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette. Woods says he entered the race for the purpose of establishing a strong and positive opposition to Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, who is a hidebound organization candidate. Mr. Wood's statement: "Mr. Smith and myself would draw largely from the same class of voters. I realize that if I remain in the race, Fleming's chances for reelection would be much greater. I have therefore withdrawn and am urging my friends to support Hon. Harry C. Smith. Mr. Smith has lived in the section of the city now comprising the 11th ward for many years. He is a product of Cleveland's schools, a taxpayer, and in every way qualified for the duties of councilman. I believe that a man worth while should possess individual initiative and a reasonable degree of independence. These Fleming apparently does not possess. For two years I have been fighting to break down the Maschke-Fleming combination, men who use their political influence for selfish purposes and are a detriment to the public welfare and unfit to hold office. I am urging all good citizens of the 11th ward to vote for Harry C. Smith and predict his election on Nov. 8th. Two years ago Fleming stated that he would not be a candidate for reelection. He only wanted to redistrict the ward. I am told by reliable persons that Fleming now says he is going to be councilman of the 11th ward as long as he pleases, and when he is tired he will name his successor. I am herewith asking the men and women voters of the 11th ward if Mr. Fleming owns them or their votes. Think carefully and well and then vote." REGISTER This Friday and Saturday are the last two registration days! All who desire to vote at either the Nov. 8 election or the 1922 primaries must register. Oct. 21 or 22. Your last chance! Those out of town or sick on all four registration days have the privilege of registering on Nov. 7. Booths will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Women—especially home managers—should make special efforts to get to the booths during the morning hours. This will leave the evening hours to the men folks when they come home from their work. And expedite machinery in general. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Driven To Falsification! It Was Expected and is Characteristic—Nevertheless "Star" and "Tom" Must Go—In- The wonderful support (of the voters of ward 11) of the candidacy of Harry C. Smith for the City Council, a candidacy for which representatives of twenty-four churches and other organizations in the ward are responsible, has apparently driven the "Starlight" Boyd-Councilman Fleming "fraction" to desperation. They have begun, just as expected by many, to circulate pamphlets making contemptible personal attacks on Mr. Smith which are positively silly. Deware of these and others that may follow during the closing hours of the campaign. They will not be allowed to becloud the atmosphere, coming as they do from such a source, because "STAR" AND "TOM" SHOULD AND MUST GO! A long suffering and too patient people, those in ward 11, have decreed it and are also determined that Mayor FitzGerald and Chairman Muschke, "Star" and "Tom's" political bosses, shall go, too, Nov. 8, 1921. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THE PEOPLE OF THE WARD CAN EMANCIPATE THEM SELVES FROM A POLITICAL DOMINATION that has made the Central Ave. district so notorious, so dangerous to live in and no bad in many ways in its residents have risen in their might with an unalterable determination to vote "Star" and "Tom" out of the political power they have exercised and abused shamefully for five years. An outraged people in ward 11, and they include about all elements, say "STAR" AND "TOM" MUST GO AND GO THEY SHALL! The low moral status of and consequent miserable living conditions in the ward, and district, must be materially improved and they will be with the outgoing of these four individuals—"Star," "Tom," FitzGerald and Muschke! It is the ONLY way the people can get what they are determined to have. Again we warn the voters of ward 11 to pay no attention to the contemptible attacks being made in their pamphlets and speeches, but to keep ever before you the real issue—EMANCIPATION! To get this, "STAR" AND "TOM," FitzGerald AND MASCHKE MUST GO!! Also please remember that it was the contemptible pamphlet-attacks on Senator Warren G. Harding, last fall, that made him President and gave him the largest plurality any candidate for President ever received. The Ward 11 Contest. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—When a farmer begins to clear up a piece of ground, the first thing he does is to clear away the underbrush and small timber. By this method he gets a clear swing with his ax at the tall timber. The 11th ward voters are doing this very thing. Ward heelers, committee-men and councilmen must heed the request of their constituents. Resolution after resolution has been passed asking for positions for our qualified young members of the race, to the higher-up, but to no avail. The 11th ward voters are leading the way, clearing the decks for action, and they are making no mistake in choosing our Editor H. C. Smith for their leader. He has been a good friend to all old veterans of the Civil War and veterans of the Spanish-American wars and the records will prove this. I am sure he will be a stunner friend to those who have earned the bonus, adjusted compensation, etc. A. McSpadden, (1864 and 1865) 11th U. S. Hy. Artillery and a member of the G. A.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—We are citizens of the grand and noble state of Ohio and feel that we owe it to our children and our children's children to do away with the political slavery imposed by "Starlight" Royd and Counselman Thos. W. Fleming. The little "folder" they have issued. headed. "The Real Truth Concerning Harry C. Smith," which as a matter of fact, should have been headed "The Real UNTPUTH Concerning Harry C. Smith," is a vicious and CONTEMP-TIBLE attack that, like the stories issued last fall by the Democrats against Senator (now President) Warren G. Harding, is bound to have an effect just the opposite of that, hoped for by "Star" and "Tom." God grant us courage to throw off their yoke on Nov. 8th, that we may be a free people once more. They say that they will win. It is said that there are those who boast of IN UNION IS STRONGER E COPY FIVE CENTS ATE! Falsification! Party Attack On The Rev. H. C. Bailey Characteristic—Nevertheless om" Must Go—In- ng Letters. fraud at the ballot box and in the count, and speak of our ignorance in marking the ballot. They also say "the jobs belong to the old citizens," the "land-marks," but we came here to better our conditions, to live and rear our children and we feel it our duty as a people to stand for the things we feel and know are right in the sight of God. The people have spoken and their motto is, "conquer we must when our cause is just." Let this also be our motto, "In God we trust," and on Nov. 8 "old glory" will wave from nearly every house停 in Ward 11 in honor of the victory of the people's choice. HON. HARRY C. SMITH, councilman of Ward 11. Ward 11 Victory Assured! Detroit, Mich., Oct. 15, '21. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear friend Smith:—The present effort of the good people of Cleveland to elect you as councilman of the Eleventh Ward bespeaks a volume in favor of the splendid record you have made as one of the foremost citizens of the great state of Ohio, and brings home that great truth spoken by Horace Greeley, "Right living has its reward." Whether you are elected to the council or not, it must be a great source of gratification to you to note the apparent unanimity with which the best element of Cleveland's electorate is getting behind your cam- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. Francis 11. Warren, Esq. paign and I congratulate you most heartily on the showing thus far made and predict your triumphant election over my other good friend, Thomas W. Fleming. I do not think, however, that the personality of the candidate so much enters into the campaign as the respective principles represented by yourself and Mr. Fleming from a standpoint of political policy. The principles you represent are like those represented by the late Hazen S. Pingree of this city when he first ran for mayor of Detroit. Our town had been conducted much the same as your town has been conducted for five years or more, as what is known as a "wide-open" town. The good people of Detroit. Our town ha deben conducted him mayor, and, of course, you know he became a national character. People will stand evil conditions just so long and no longer; then they will rise in their might and abolish the political system that permits it. And, as I believe in the same principles of a clean town both physically and morally, here's to your success. Yours sincerely, (Atty.) Francis H. Warren. Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 18, '21. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear, Friend "Hal":—Knowing you as well as I do, nothing like the enclosed pamphlet, "The Real Truth." (UNTRUTH) could have any influence with me in placing my vote. And if I had had any doubts about how I should vote, this miserable pamphlet of UNTRUTHS would certainly influence me TO FAVOR YOUR candidacy. I shall do ALL in my power to further your election on Nov. 5th and I am glad to state that quite a few men and women in my immediate neighborhood have promised to vote for you at the coming election. I wish for your every success and continued good health. I am, as always. P. S.—This sheet (pamphlet) was handed me, last night, by one who attended the Bath-house meeting in Central Ave. H. J. E.

OCTOBER 22, 1921 Senator Frank B. Willis on the Ku Klux Klan: “As a matter of history it sought to rule by threat, intimida- tion and fear. If such ideas and or- ganizations must be resorted to t maintain order in this country, Re- publican government is a failure. 1 am therefore not in favor of this or- ganization as I understand it.” i ‘THE FIRST REQUIREMENT. ‘The shortsightedness of the Mex- fean government in dealing with the United States is truly remarkable. It only remains for President Obregon to win recognition trom this coun- try, by according to its citizens do- ing business in Mexico immunity from unwarranted confiscation of their property, for American. finan- clers to extend aid to Mexico that will relieve her from the embarrass- ment that she now feels. Once rec- cognition is extended by the United States, the American capital is per- mitted to develop the country with- out being harassed by repressive laws, Mexico will enter upon a per- fod of prosperity never before ex- perienced. =e NO MORE OF 1914. “We have heard the expression about getting back to normal.” says Gaston Plaintif. of the Ford” Motor Company, “If normal means i 1914 before the war, wo of the Ford Motor Company, at least—dealérs find ‘employees—do not want to £0 back there, In 1914 we did in vol- ume probably one-third of what we are doing now. The prosperity among dealers as a whole subse- fuent to 1914 s0 completely over. shadows what was done during that year and prior thereto that they are hardly to,be mentioned in the same breath.” It was in 1914 that the ‘Wilson-Underwood tariff law got in fis deadly work and it was not anti a year after that Buropean “War orders” had begun to pull American industry out of the hole. No one wants fo return to 1914 business conditions. —allli— SHE WAY FOLLOWS THE WILL. ‘There is much truth in the state- ment of President William Sproule of the Southern Pacifle Company that “public opinion will do more than either railroad meh or bankers can do to bring about that improve- ment in conditions which is the need of the time.” Neither the bankers nor ‘the railroads nor members of Congress can go far without public opinion backing them up. What we need is a wider understanding of all economic as well as political issues us the basis for a clearly defined pub- lic opinion. There are a lot of peo- ple who believe that the period of readjustment 18 not over—that de- flation has not been equally dis- tributed and will not be completed ‘until it has been equally distributed. ‘When the public believes the adjust- ment is over, all lines of industry will revive and the upward swing will be long and enjoyable. it JAPAN HODS UP SILK PRICES. Japan is riot actuated by any of those motives of trade philanthropy which the free traders and interaa- tionalists of this country adyocate for the United States. Japan has practically a monopoly on raw silk. Siegfried Mayer, sales manager of the Alpha Sik Company, says that ‘with Tokobama quoting $9.80 (a pound) for double extras it has be- come extremely di cult to sell thrown silk. It costs us from $1.26 to $1.35 a pound to make up the yarn, and we should be asking no lower than $8.00 a pound. Many throwers are selling at 25¢ below actual cost. Most mills on that ac- count are operating at less than halt of normal.” Before the war the Japanese price was around $3.50. In June, 1920, it. wente as high as $10.00. We imported $13,000,000 worth of woven silk fabrics from Japan during the seven months end- ed July, last, compared with about $1,250,000 worth for the seven months ended July 31, 1913. It is to be hoped that the Texas silk ex- periment proves a success, and it should be encouraged. TWO COMING ARTISTS. ‘The clite of Cleveland turned out en masse, Tuesday evening, to pay homage to a “home boy,” Louia V. Tones, violinist and his fellow artist, Wm. S. Lawrence, pianist-accompan- ist of Boston in a joint recital at Lane Metropolitan church. It was Mr. Jones’ farewell recital before leaving for Paris where he will con- tinue his, studies. The program showed rar€ discernment and includ: ed selections from Pugnani-Kreisler, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Dvorak, Dett, S. Coleridge-Taylor, White, Bur- leigh and MacDowell. Mr. Jones is to be congratulated and commended on the wonderful progress he has made since his last appearance here about a year ago. He plays with more confidenée and precision. His tone is broader, stronger, sweeter, and more velvety. Mr. Lawrence proved a most sympathetic accom- panist. In his solo work he displayed @ facile technique and a tone full of warmth and beauty. Both artists were generous with encores demand- ed by the enthusiastic audience. The Cleveland Topics of Oct. 15 speaks in brilliant terms of Mr. Jones. PrimeSport News By Allen Harrison Dorsey.

Hav- ing married against his father’s wish- es, for a time he was compelled to live in a most economic way, but tif father relenting set him up in the shoe business, But it was the very worst thing that he could have done for he soon ran through al! the money that had been given him, and he was back again us a journeyman, At the age of 14, James was bound for seven years to Mr, Bowden of Taunton, a shoemaker, He applied himself ‘diligently, not only to. the trade, becoming a muster In it, but also to acquiring kvowledse in great er things, When he was just 21, and About six months before the expira tion of his time a severe contest for the representation of Taunton in Par Uament took place, and the friends of two of the candidates purchased his freedom in order to secure both ‘his vote and his services, Finally, leaving Bristol i 1769, he lived for a year in Devonshire, where he worked as a maker of stu-and silk shoes. After three years he re |soved to go t9 London, where he ar rived in 1774 with half a crown in his pocket, Once in London, the tide of fortune tured, for it brought to him the small sum of ten pounds, with which he purchased a few household | articles, and with his wise he started | housekeeping. He was only there a year when his dusiness prospered sufficiently tht he was able to get up a rather pre tentious shop, end faving become a great reader, he decided to add to his business the selling of books. He spent a small sum in old books, and those, with the ones he already pos sessed, were made a part of his shoe making business. His business pros pered. Several years later he found a part ner with considerable money, and to gether they went into the selling of books, and Lackington abandoned the shoemaking entirely. They bought sal able books in large quantities and at figures that they could sell them very cheaply, and also dealt extensively in second-hand books. Sp rapidly grew the business that it was not long until they had on sale 500,000 books con: stantly. When he finally retired from business, in 1798, he did so with a large fortune, for his profits on the first year’s trade at “The Temple of the Muses” amounted to $25,000, and it increased every year thereafter. Lackington died in 1815. None will deny the successful bookseller the right to the Latin motto with which he had adorned the frontispiece to the first edition of his “Memoirs and Con fessions,” viz, “Suter uptra crepidam feicliter’ auses,”, which translated reads: “The shoemaker happily aban doned his last.” Uncertain Lies.

NO CHIMNEYS OR WINDOWS Yet Inhabitants Are People of High Character and Have Simply Made Out the Best Way Under the Cir ‘Cuttin: ‘On the Scottish Isles known as the Hebrides are thousands of so-called “black houses,” having nelther chim- ney nor window, a single door serving for ingress and egress, to admit light and air and to get rid of smoke. In & recent report on the physical wel- fare of mothers and children in Scot- land, made for the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, Dr. W. Leslie Mac: Kenzie tells how theso dwellings are the outgrowth of needs closely relat- ed to the welfare of the primitive communities tn which they are found. A reviewer, writing in “Nature” calls this report “a very important human document,” disclosing a “firm sclen- tifle grip and fresh insight.” Of the “black houses” and Dr. Mackenzie's explanation of them he says: “They are without chimneys; the peat fire 1s kept burning day and night, and fs, in spite of the smoke, the savior of the household; the straw roof does not keep out the rain, and thus almost necessitates ‘box-beds'; there is often more than propin- quinty of the cows and thelr manure. The ‘black houses’ are, of course, de- plorable and deteriorative; but that 1s not their scientific description. The fact is that, in point after point, these ‘black houses’ are like organisms bull up under difficult conditions, ‘moagerly perhaps, but with remark- ‘able adaptiveness, The stones are from the moor; timber is trom the ‘sea; lime mortar is expensive; the root must be moulted each year; and ‘therefore, the walls must be low; moreover, the gales are high. ‘At every point the house is adapted to its fundamental purposes,’ and what the doctrinaire student or the care- less visitor dismisses as unworthy of savages, the product of laziness of perversity turns out to be a prod- uct of long Inbor and sacrifice’ a fundamental part of the only system of agriculture formerly found possi ‘ble in this island of gneiss rock clay and’ peat moss.’ ‘It {8 part of the ‘price that a people of immense abil- ‘ty and high’ character have to pay ‘for thelr civilization, “The unsympathetle eritte, who does ‘not dwell with the people as one must dwell with all sorts and conditions of living creatures if one is to under- stand them, does not discover that the peat smoke is tolerated and even encouraged day and night throughout all the winter in order that the straw may be saturated to form a manure which keeps the croft lands effective ‘The reasons for the so-called ‘cattle- ‘housing’ are similarly interpretable in terms of intelligible purpose. Not that the medical member of the local gov- ernemnt board for Scotland 15 advo- cating the encouragement of ‘black- houses’ and ‘cattlehousing.’ But it hhe protests that we shall do well to pay even the jetsam of the past the compliment of understanding it, or heaven help our future. “amid an embarrassing multitude of details, the reader ts never allowed to lose sight of the big, underlying problem—the influence of nurture, en- vironmental, nutritional, and function- al, on the organism, whether adult and reproductive, or in process of early development. ‘The author 1s neither optimist nor pessimist; he believes things can be bettered; he shows us what a multitude of salutary provis- fons are at present in operation; he indicates how development along all Iines of education, research and tn- stitutions may wipe away a reproach to our civilfzation—Literary Digest. iNew Mileage Record. “You say he 1s a good prohibition enforcement officer?” “TN say he ts.” “What especially are his qualifica tions?” “Well, he has gotten as high as twenty ‘gallons of moonshine to the mile out of a fllvver."—Florida Times- Union.

People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Mon- ey can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is “The Old | Reliable” GAZETTE. | REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an ex- penditure'as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertis- ing is a sure prelude to wealth— Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising —W. 2, Gladstone. | Printet's ink will_mako more of ‘the public wear a pathway to your store, See? While it is true that occasional ad- vertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persist- ent advertising will keep business growing during “dull days.” ‘The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? ‘The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his com- petitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It’s a good time to “get awake.” IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be _ discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 syears of universal discrimina- tion, and are winning even so- cial rights today. ‘The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit: The race that says it’s of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are, not worthy of equal rights; they are by na- ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts."” The world re- spects only those, who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- litionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to de- serve contempt. — Boston (Mlass.)

The effects of a disordered stomach on the system are dangerous, and prompt treatment of indigestion is important. "The only medicine I have needed has to aid digestion and clean the liver," writes Mr. Fred Ashby, a McKinney, Texas, farmer. "My medicine is BLACK-DRAUGHT for indigestion and stomach trouble of any kind. I have never found anything that touches the spot, like Black-Draught. I take it in broken doses after meals. For a long time I tried pills, which gripped and didn't give the good results. Black-Draught liver medicine is easy to take, easy to keep, inexpensive."

DO YOU KNOW WHY --- Stenographers Can Bail Things Up Like This? WISE HOME-BUILDERS. Human Belongs Not as Particular as Some Wild Animals. Men and women usually exercise a great deal of care in choosing a site for a home and in building their houses. Whenever possible they select an elevated site to be sure of good drainage, seek pleasant, beautiful surroundings and provide as many conveniences for the comfort and health of their children and themselves as they can get. Preference is usually given to a southern or an eastern exposure and thoughtful consideration is given to various factors, such as streets and roads, neighbors, churches, schools, business facilities and opportunities, etc. With it all, though, they are hardly as particular as some of the wild birds and animals. These, says Outing, carefully study all possible building sites, always keeping an eye out for locations that offer both plenty of sunshine and maximum protection from chilling winds. The barn-wallow invariably chooses a home site in the east or south part of a barn, away from the northerly and westerly winds, where the sun's welcome heat and light are most available. Kingfishers go scientifically about choosing a location and building their house. They dig a tunnel into a sand bank and then construct a nest in the far end of the tunnel. They always avoid a tunnel opening to the west, wherever possible digging into the warm sunny southern slope of a hillside. Groundhogs and other animals, as well as many insects, particularly certain spiders of tropical lands, are quite as wise and scientific in their nest-building as the kingfishers, swallows, etc. It is usual to say that "instinct" teaches the animals how to take care of themselves as they do. Sparrows, however, will build their nests time after time in the same eavetrough, without ever learning that they are liable to be drowned out. Perhaps in a few thousand years more they may acquire the instinct to avoid such places. Human beings have become so accustomed o depending for every thing on their reasoning faculties that they have lost nearly all their instinct. PESTIFEROUS TREES. Orchardists Claim They Have Bane-ful Influence Orchardists look with suspicion on the black walnut, the black locust and certain other trees because in one way or another they interfere with the production of fruit by cultivated trees. Fruits cannot be grown successfully near a black walnut tree, they declare. Even vegetables and flowers seem to suffer from its strange baneful influence. Peach trees are particularly susceptible, all within a considerable radius being killed or dwarfed. Of course any tree with an extensive root system will draw moisture and plant food from the soil over a large area and so rob other trees and plants near it, but the black walnut's harmful influence seems to result from additional causes. Some horticulturists are convinced that a poisonous gas emanates from its roots. Whether this indictment is well founded or not, it is well known that the black walnut, which has been extensively planted as a shade and ornamental tree, is a favorite host of numerous insect pests, particularly caterpillars, which prey on fruit and other trees. In some sections the propagation of caterpillars and other harmful insects on wild apple trees constitutes a serious problem for fruit growers; no matter how vigiantly and persistently they may war on the insects in their orchards, more keep coming in from the wild fruit trees along the roadsides, in pastures, fence-rows, etc. The black locust interferes with cultivated fruit trees by robbing them of moisture and plant food and by constantly seeding the orchard, making it necessary to do considerable grubbing to keep the locust seedling down. As the roots retain their vitality a long time and persistently send up sprouts, getting rid of mature trees and even seedlings is often a difficult task. The cedar tree is also an enemy of fruit trees. The roots of the cedar do not extend very far, so that is not the trouble. But the foliage acts as a breeding place for fungus spores which are then transferred to the fruit trees. Some orchardists say that it is an uphill fight to try to grow fruit when there are cedars even as far as a mile away, as the spores are carried through the air. Brief Trip.

As long ago as 1834 the police had their troubles with "road burners," although, of course, they drove horses then, not motor cars. Here's what a newspaper said about the ancestors of the present day sons of John, one of whom was arrested twice in one day, the New York Sun points out: "The shameful conduct of the omnibus coachmen, who are continually driving their horses through the streets at the top of their speed, has at last attracted the attention of the proper authorities, and yesterday morning Stephen Colvin, the driver of the Samuel W. Seely (Andrews' Dry Dock Line) was brought to the upper police office and fined $10 for fast driving. "In the course of the afternoon the same man was brought before Justice Hopson at the lower police office on the complaint of Ald. Fickett for furious driving and racing with the merchant stage, driven by Van Kuren. Colvin was again fined $10, which has been paid by his employer, and he was liberated. Van Kuren was extremely insolent to the magistrate, and not being able to pay the fine of $10, and in default thereof, was committed to the bridewell." YIH-PEN WAS JAPANESE NAME Portuguese Said to Have Been Responsible for the Modern Corrupted Spelling. The English word "Japan" and the Japanese "Nihon" or "Nippon" are alike corruptions of "Yih-pen," the Chinese pronunciation of two characters literally meaning "sun origin"; that is, "the place the sun comes from," a name given to Japan by the Chinese on account of the position of the archipelago to the east of their own country. From Chinese Yih-pen, says the East and West News, the Japanese derived the present name Nibon, which was officially adopted, according to the history, in A. D. 670. Before that time the usual native designation of the country was Yamato, properly the name of one of the central provinces. Yamato is the name still preferred in poetry and belles-lettres. The English name Japan seems to have originated with the Portuguese, who spelled the Chinese Yih-pen Japon, the letter J being silent or similar to H according to their language. This is the way the Spanish and the Portuguese still pronounce Japan. From "Japon" came the English Japan. REGULATION OF TEMPERATURE According to, Opinion of Experts Proper Mark for the Home is About 68 Degrees. Heating experts tell us that churches should be kept warmer than lecture rooms. Whether this implies that the lecture room audience is more apt to forget any discomfort due to temperature than a church congregation they decline to say. According to the scientists versed in the subject 65 degrees is the proper temperature for a church, while that of a lecture hall should be between 60 and 64 degrees. Public buildings, the experts agree, should have a temperature between 68 and 72 degrees, while schools should be kept uniformly at 70 degrees. The proper temperature for the home is about 68 degrees, with bathrooms at between 70 and 85 degrees. Entrance halls and vestibules should be kept at a temperature between 64 and 60 degrees; gymnasiums 60 and matrators 68 degrees. These are the temperatures for hospitals: general rooms, 72 to 75 degrees; sick rooms, 72; operating rooms, 70 to 90. Experts apparently do not believe in making prisons attractive in cold weather, as they recommend a temperature for them between 50 and 64 degrees. Factories and shops should be kept at a temperature of 65 degrees; boiler shops and foundries, 50 to 60; machine shops, 60 to 65; paint shops, 60. Put the Umpire In a Cage. Safety first, the oft-repeated warning, was very religiously heeded by the umpire at a recent benefit ball game on the Pacific coast. He appeared, Popular Mechanics relates, at the park with a large wire contrivance that looked like an exaggerated bird cage. When the game started he took his stand inside the cage. On top of the cage were mounted semaphores, lettered very plainly with THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, OCTOBER 22, 1921. THE NEW RACE MENACE. National Meetings of All Kinds—Time to "Put on the Brakes," Says One of Our Editors. During the month of August there were quite a number of national meetings among our group. The Woodmen met in Denver, Colo., the Knights of Pythias in Topeka, Kans., the Elks in Boston, Mass., the Negro Women's Republican League met in Kansas City, Mo., The Universal Negro Improvement Association met in New York, The National Negro Business League met in Atlanta, Ga., and there were two meetings of the National Baptist Conventions, one in Chicago and one in New Orleans, last month. In addition to all of these national meetings there have been state annual meetings of various types and kinds. The Tribune takes the position that this annual meeting business has become a menace to the economic and social welfare of the race. The main feature of the majority of these annual meetings is the election of officers. Politics, graft and chilcanery run rampant in many instances and the persons or groups of persons that can assemble and juggle the voters the slickest get the offices. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being literally thrown to the winds in sending delegates to the various national and state meetings. Four delegates from this city to Denver spent $500 in railroad fares and board bills. Thousands of people flocked to Chicago and New Orleans, last month, to attend the National Baptist Conventions. The $900.00 spent on travel and meetings. What return is the Race getting from this annual drain on its purse is that any way commensurate with this enormous outlay? More than $3,000,000 have been spent by our group this summer on "annual meetings" while the Race suffers from economic weakness that is alarming. The colored people's condition in this country is dependent far more upon our group than upon these annual meetings of fraternal and social organizations. Let's be practical. These lodges will spend thousands of dollars in sending delegates to an annual meeting to elect some man as grand-this and grand-that, yet often fail to pay some poor member at home the small sum of $3.00 for a week's illness and hem and haw over pay $75 to a poor widow at the death of her husband who had been a member for 20 years and then require from sixty to ninety days to settle the claim. Take the $3,000,000 spent this summer on these "annual" affairs and how far would that amount go in establishing a chain of stores in building homes; in operating factories. This amount of money could be divided between six cities giving $500,000 to each of them. Allowing $20,000 for capital of one business house, this would give 25 new business establishments in each of these six cities; or 150 new places of business with $20,000 for each establishment. If the three million dollars were divided into twelve parts of $250,000; and that would give each of 12 cities 25 new places of business with a capital of $10,000. Twelve cities with 25 new business enterprises would give the race 300 new establishments in the United States with $10,000 capital. Which would help to solve our problems and bring impartial justice sooner; the establishing of 300 new business enterprises each year with a capital of $10,000 each, or the continuation of these "annual meetings" resulting in the squandering of these opportunities. — Washington Tribune. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax. That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper.

NICA BALMU WE WISH YOU WONDERED STOP NOSE YOU DO GET US HEAR YOU YOURS ASS OUR WILL MY NAME AND I WOULD CATCH DAY TRAIN Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years, to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or asherafter provided, may recover, as hereafter provided, from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 182 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children survive him, until such sum shall be applied to the maintenance are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his utilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. Person suffering death from injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction. Action for damages for malicious assailant. Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate court, loving not the hundred dollars counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A lynching may be committed such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many reader, of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. --- This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them. We should not do so for themselves, under it in the courts. --- Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant.
